Off to get a Christmas Tree!

Today was also our annual trek across county lines to pick out a Christmas tree! We found this place the 2nd year we were married and its become a tradition to go there every year.

Going there this year brought back some memories.... Last year we got our tree November 24th. Now, you'll remember Jimmy was born November 25th. So, shortly after getting our tree last year I went into labor!

This year, Emily picked out the tree herself! And it was actually a very nice tree! She did a good job.

Here's a picture of Emily with the tree...the dog got in the way!

He sees you when you're sleeping....

Today, we took advantage of the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Lafayette Village and went to see Santa. Unfortunately, tons of other people thought the same thing! We waited over an hour and a half to see Santa and Mrs. Claus...in the freezing cold!

Emily did pretty good and told Santa what she wanted. Jimmy....he wasn't too sure what was even going on! But he didn't cry!

Worlds of Fantasy!

Today was our annual trip to Disney on Ice! This year the theme was "Worlds of Fantasy". It was Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Tinkerbell!

We got there an hour early for the Princess Pre-Show. All the Princess costumes were there and Cinderella even made an appearance!

Emily just loved it! Jimmy got antsy during Tinkerbell, but overall he sat pretty good for over an hour!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! We went to Michelle's and there was tons of food and conversation. We all had a wonderful day!

Happy 1st Birthday Jimmy!

I can't believe that you are 1 year old already! Where did the past year go?!

You went from this....

To this.....

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!! We love you very, very much! Love, Mommy, Daddy & Big Sister Emily!

That's So Magic!

Jim took the kids to meet Michelle & Laura at Pizza Hut. Abby Cadabby was going to be there!

Emily just loves her and was excited to see her! She even wore her Abby shirt!

Jimmy was not thrilled that Abby was coming within 10 feet of him. Apparantly, he would actually stare her down to make sure she wouldn't come near him!

Its a great day for a party!

Since his birthday was on a Tuesday, we had Jimmy's first birthday party today! We had about 20 of our family and friends there to celebrate this happy day with us!

A very big thank you to you all! You made Jimmy's party something to remember! We love you!

The wait is over!

Okay, I'll admit....I'm a little sad now!


Jim (the great husband that he is!) took the day off of work so he could take me to see Twilight! He knew how much I loved the books and how excited I was to see the movie!

Although the book was much better...I have to admit that I preferred the Thunder Baseball scene in the movie. Overall, it wasn't a bad adaptation. I guess now I have New Moon to look forward too!

Smile!

Today we took the kids to Kiddie Kandids to do Jimmy's 1 year pictures (yes, already!) and pictures for the Christmas card. They turned out really well!

Come and play....

Today Jim took the kids to Pizza Hut to see Big Bird! He met Michelle and Laura there. Needless to say, Big Bird was kind of scary. Jimmy wanted NOTHING to do with him!

Halloween at Wild Pines!

Today we took the kids up to visit Michelle & Laura and attend the Wild Pines Halloween Party! We all had a wonderful time! The girls just love playing together and Jimmy tries to get in on the action!


Guess what color the icing on the cupcake was!



We sure did get a lot of use out of the costumes this year!
